You'd think the media would be more responsible than to relay the press releases of terrorists.

They can "claim" victory, but they have no ground on which to claim anything.

If this is a captured American, then they have committed a war crime. Why isn't THAT the focus of the media report?

Unfortunately, no I really don't.

I think because the media considers terrorists to be civilians, deserving of jury trials, etc. 'Course the media also hopes for an American defeat in Iraq, thinking that such a thing will return Democrats to power and a return to the road towards their beloved socialism.

No. The MSM WANTS this to be true in the worst possible way. They'll report it as such whether true or not.

No one accuses the side they are cheering on of "War Crimes".
